St. Patrick, the Centre for Arts, Media & Technology, welcomed over 1200 people on October 9, 2025, for its annual Open House 2025. This was an evening filled with energy, creativity, and community pride. Guests were welcomed by vibrant performances from the Enriched Instrumental Band and the St. Patrick Ensemble, followed by a heartfelt prayer presented by Dramatic Arts students and a captivating Enriched Dance performance set to Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay.
Principal Mr. Connolly delivered an inspiring address, highlighting the school’s excellence across academics, the arts, and athletics including AP, Enriched Arts, Media Technology Arts (MTA) programs, and the Specialist High Skills Majors in Construction and Hospitality & Tourism. The school’s artistic achievements also took centre stage, with mentions of the Exemplary Practice award-winning musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, student success at the National Theatre School Drama Festival, and so much more!
Before wrapping up the 45-minute showcase performance in the Auditorium, four student leaders (Anjola S., Kristel M., Angelo B., and Cormac M.) shared personal stories that reflected their experiences as students at St. Patrick. Their experiences demonstrated how St. Patrick empowers students to grow as learners, leaders, and individuals of faith.
Following the presentations, families were invited to explore the school through a self-guided tour designed to showcase the many programs, facilities, and learning spaces that make St. Patrick so unique, led by our incredible staff and over 250 student volunteers!
